Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering safety monitoring and sensing technology, specifically involving an embedded optical-electromagnetic wave coupled probe and its hydraulic parameter measurement method. Background Technology

[0002] Statistical data shows that most failures (approximately 70%-80%) in urban underground pipe networks and long-distance oil and gas pipelines occur at high-risk points such as joints, elbows, and flanges where stress is concentrated or sealing is weak. The main types of failures include media leakage, structural deformation, and cracking caused by uneven settlement.

[0003] Existing monitoring technologies have several shortcomings: traditional single-parameter sensors (such as fiber optic strain sensors and humidity sensors) can only monitor a single physical quantity and cannot reflect the coupling effect of "moisture intrusion-stress change," easily leading to false alarms or missed alarms; some composite sensors suffer from complex structures, difficult installation, and weak anti-interference capabilities, making them unsuitable for harsh environments such as underground dampness, corrosion, and electromagnetic interference; furthermore, existing measurement methods lack effective temperature compensation mechanisms, temperature drift severely affects measurement accuracy, and no coupling judgment model for water-mechanical parameters has been established, making it impossible to achieve graded early warning of faults. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a compact, easy-to-install, high-precision probe capable of multi-parameter coupled monitoring and a corresponding measurement method.

[0061] To better understand the technical content of the present invention, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0062] In this invention, various aspects of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which numerous illustrative embodiments are shown. Embodiments of the invention are not limited to those depicted in the drawings. It should be understood that the invention is implemented through any of the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as the concepts and embodiments described in detail below, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed herein are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of the invention disclosed may be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects of the invention disclosed.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the node is a typical high-risk area of ​​stress concentration and weak sealing, the medium type is tap water, the surrounding backfill medium is silty clay, the ambient temperature range is -10℃ to 40℃, and it is fitted with a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material encapsulation shell 1.

[0064] Preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, the embedded optical-electromagnetic wave coupling detector body 11 adopts a rod-shaped packaging structure, and the parameters of each core component are optimized and selected as follows:

[0065] The encapsulation housing 1 is made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone) material, with a diameter of 3mm and a length of 20mm. The surface anti-slip thread pitch is 1.5mm, and the front sensing window has a diameter of 2mm. It is precision machined by CNC machine tools, and the two ends of the encapsulation housing 1 are sealed by laser welding.

The strain grating FBG1 has a center wavelength... =1535nm, center wavelength of temperature grating FBG2 =1560nm, with a wavelength spacing of 25nm, meeting the design requirement of non-overlapping wavelengths and avoiding signal interference. The strain grating FBG1 is rigidly bonded to the inner wall of the encapsulation housing 1 with high-temperature resistant epoxy adhesive, with a bonding length of 5mm, ensuring synchronous stress transmission. The temperature grating FBG2 is encapsulated in a 0.4mm thick quartz heat-conducting tube, with both ends fixed to the end of the housing, in a free and relaxed state.

The electromagnetic coil 3 and optical fiber 2 are coaxially arranged with a spacing of 0.5 mm to ensure stable transmission and reception of electromagnetic signals. An external excitation source is connected via a 1.0 mm outer diameter coaxial RF cable. The connection between the cable and the housing is secured with a waterproof sealing joint to improve overall airtightness.

The probe 10 is then slowly inserted into the mounting hole to a depth of 2 / 3 of the shell length (i.e., 13.3 mm), and secured by tightening the surface anti-slip bolts 7. The fluid channel 9 is located inside the pipeline and is enclosed by the pipe wall and the flange 6, and is used to transport industrial media such as tap water, oil, and gas.

[0124] (2) Level II warning, abnormal mechanical structure / uneven settlement: if the absolute value of the measured local stress state change is... Greater than the stress change threshold And at this time, the water content W remains at a preset low and stable level (e.g. If there is no sudden change, it is determined that the joint has experienced mechanical structural cracking or is affected by foundation settlement, and the system outputs a level two early warning signal;

By coaxially integrating a photosensitive sensing core and an electromagnetically excited sensing core, it achieves high-precision, point-to-point coupled monitoring of water content and mechanical stress at high-risk nodes in underground pipelines. Specifically, the encapsulation shell uses PEEK or Al2O3-based ceramic materials, adaptable to different temperature and corrosion conditions, with a compact structure and convenient installation. A dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and temperature reference "dual decoupling" compensation mechanism effectively eliminates the impact of temperature drift on measurement accuracy. Based on the Cole-Cole model and the Topp equation for water content inversion, combined with the equivalent elastic modulus stress assessment calculated using the hybrid rule, a complete hydraulic parameter coupled analysis system is constructed. Furthermore, by setting graded early warning thresholds and coupling judgment rules, accurate identification and graded response to early leaks, structural anomalies, and pipe rupture accidents are achieved.
